Hi Everyone! Thanks for taking a look at our campaign. The idea for this project came to me one day I had to use my DSLR on a camera crane, with the depth of field that this type of cameras offers, we could not get a perfect focus!. I needed a HF follow focus but I could not find a system with a good value for money. I could not understand why I had to pay more for an accessory than for the DSLR itself. That is how the project started!

Create a HF follow focus cheaper than a DSLR, but with the technical features of a professional system.

At Visuel Mouvement, we struggle to find innovative solutions in order to improve the equipment for cinema shooting, it is why we imagined and then created the Juste Focus. This remote control follow focus HF is compatible with all types of interchangeable camera’s lenses, it is provided in the form of a kit consisting of a remote, a receiver and a motor. The Juste Focus does a favor to the technician (first camera assistant) affecting the camera lens or DSLR to perform its remote-control focus, the technician avoids manipulating directly the lens which prevents shocks that will disrupt the focus.

What more will the Juste Focus?

A minimalist design which makes easier its handling because there are not useless options which waste time because no failures or errors

Its compatibility. It is compatible with all types of lenses

A high autonomy of the remote (more than 40 hours)

The remote-control of the motor (range: 300 meters outdoor; 40m indoor) avoids shocks on the lens

It is less expensive than a mechanical follow focus and enjoys the selling price the cheapest on the market

Power supply and frequencies HF are internationally compatible

It is lightweight and easy to use

The Juste Focus is available as a kit, the Plug and Play kit. The kit incorporates:

The Remote

The remote pairs up to the receiver which remote control the motor with its Bluetooth connection.The synchronization between the remote and the receiver must be done automatically.The pairing should be done a single time or in case of pairing reset (specified the method).There will be an infinite number of transmitter torques on the same place.The system will work by learning process each time the system is reset by the user.To avoid any interference during the manipulation of the remote, the signal is scrambled.

Specs:

Power: 4 batteries AA (R6)

Autonomy: 40h

Scan Channel: Auto

Range: 300m outdoor - 40m indoor

Number of channels: 1

Real-time monitoring of battery status

Storing settings even off

Its measurements are:

length : 152mm

width : 75mm

thickness : 75mm

weight (with battery) : 380g

weight (empty) : 280g

The Receiver

In order to control the motor with the remote you have to pose the remote on the Pose Pairing to pair it. The receiver mediates between the motor and the camera lens and between the remote and the motor. It consists of two cables: one connecting the receiver to the battery of the device used (DSLR for example), the other connected to the motor.

Specs:

Power: 12V to 30V Multi Power

Autonomy: 8h with Vlock 88W/h

Frequency: 2.4 GHz

Its measurements are:

Length : 70mm

Width : 84mm

Thickness : 27mm

Weight : 160g

The Motor

The main function of the motor is to put in motion the camera lens.

It is with this feature of the Juste Focus than the focus takes place with the use of the remote control. The motor consists of one interchangeable gear with several modules (0,8 – 0,6 – 0,5 – 0,4). Moreover it consists of an interchangeable sliding clamp which can position on three different places of the motor in order to varying the grip angles, this sliding clamp allows fixing a camera mount rods with 15mm or 19mm diameter to mounting the motor or the motor can also be mounted with grip (mini magic arm). The motor can perform x rounds to manage to do an entire camera lens round. It is a digital motor, so it has no rounds limits between the two stops.

Specs:

Speed: 68 rpm

Torque: 1 Nm

Module: 0,8 (standard)

Clamp: 15mm or 19mm

Its measurements are:

Length : 130mm

Thickness : 35mm

Weight : 300g

Start-up:

What you need to run the Juste Focus

Options:

Juste Focus App for Smartphones IOS and Android:

There will be an App to control the JF and we will go further because the App will calculate every depth of field, save the lens measures (between the two stops) until 20 per record and may make as much backups he wants.

Communication protocol Open Source

This App is Open Source, thus you are able to redistribute freely the access to the source code and derivative works. You can control your Juste Focus with your own applications in order to integrate it into your systems.

Juste Focus Design

Imagining the Juste Focus we wanted differentiate ourselves from the other market players, it was necessary developing a special design: a design that will be both remarkably simple and efficient. To achieve this we have created a product which gets to the point putting aside items which could disturb its functioning.

We could design a similar product to others and thus at a higher price but at Visuel Mouvement we prefer to find innovative solutions at reduced price. We offer a follow focus of a rare simplicity at an affordable price but which still meets the technical needs of clients: the easy focus.

Before studying design and technology, we began by observing your tastes and preferences. It was verified that 90% of users use only the focus function so we have developed a product of which the ease of use is explained by a single channel to control the focus which will make the focus.

In order to comply our commitment to design a simple product which gets to the point, we put aside the multitude of bulky options on a camera like the Rec and Stop control, otherwise we could not offer you an easy to use product. If we really care that the Juste Focus goes to the basics and we have developed a simple design that is because it is a very good tool that can serve as a spare product on a large camera setup or that will be suitable for other people thanks to its ease of use. Its reliability and sturdiness make that the Juste Focus cannot break down.

For more clarity we have designed a remote that will be suitable for both left and right-handed persons (optimum grip), it is easy to use and cannot make mistakes because it is composed of a minimum of buttons that each has a specific function. If its selling price and its environmental standards respect are important, its design is important too. This is why the Juste Focus has an attractive design and an uncluttered line combining basic and robust components for a use in all simplicity which gets to the point.

Simple and logical ideas to reduce costs and simplify its use to make the product most reliable and make it an essential tool in your next achievements (works).

The Juste Focus only does the focus but it does well !!!

Why Indiegogo?

We've built and tested our prototypes to make sure they are up to our standards. But designing and building a prototype is one thing – Manufacturing and marketing it is another.

With your help, we can get past any issues we may run into with advanced laboratory testing, and hiring the best people to help us grow and move forward because we are confident. This product will improve and facilitate the lenses focus and cinema shooting (camerawork).

We are ready to rise this challenge!
